Ajax forward Mohammed Kudus has set his sights on the Premier League and a potential move to Manchester United, according to a Dutch football expert.
Kudus, 22, has attracted the attention of several English clubs after impressing for the Dutch club.
The versatile Ghana international, who can play in midfield and as a forward, has scored 23 goals in 84 games for Ajax.
He also impressed at the World Cup in Qatar after claiming to be 'as good as' Brazilian superstar Neymar in an interview with The Guardian before the tournament.

A fee of around £40m has been floated for Kudus this summer, with several top Premier League sides interested.
Arsenal are in the market for a right winger to conclude their summer business, while Chelsea are also on the look-out for attacking reinforcements.
Kudus has also been touted as a potential option for United, who are in desperate need of a new striker.
United are in talks to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, while Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani is viewed as a back-up option should those negotiations fail.
Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan says Kudus is keen to move to England this summer and would jump at the chance to reunite with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
"Mohammed Kudus is a really interesting player in terms of midfield and striker – he can play both," Van der Kraan told Sky Sports News.
"This is why he is on the horizon, on their list. He may not be the number one yet but if any of the players mentioned fail to come and talks break down, Kudus could be an ideal option.
"Quite significantly, who is in a training camp with Ajax in the south of Germany near Munich, has made it clear he wants to leave.
"When a player says that, he usually has something lined up.
"He is very keen on a move to the Premier League, whether that is a top club in London or Manchester.
"As soon as Ten Hag would knock on his door, he would go."
